B12 is worth more than all the G5 conferences combined. Even if it were to lose 5 or 6 members it's rump has more value than the AAC or MWC and could easily rebuild with schools from those conferences and be in stronger position with all the accrued Basketball credits and preferred status on TV packages. So if at least 4 schools remain it wont dissolve - it will instead destabilize the American and maybe the Mountain West (fewer schools would be targeted from them)

The only scenario where it could dissolve is 7 schools line up P5 conferences before 2025, and agree to submit together. First they would suspend Baylor's voting rights, then on 7-2 vote dissolve the B12 so they can take their basketball credits with them. The fun part is figuring out where the 7 go.

Does suspending voting rights require a smaller supermajority than dissolving the conference? If they're the same, I don't see why an ISU or KSU without a power conference spot lined up would vote to disenfranchise an ally (and thus themselves).
